The answer is basically "none". Once can maintain a package in Debian
(as is: doing maintenance work, being responsible, and being in the
Maintainer: control field) without any kind of special status.
However, at some later point, you'll probably want to apply for the
Debian Maintainer [1] or Debian Member [2] status and get
upload rights. See [3] for disambiguation.
